Today we were at the mall shopping for a bit. Hubby ran to Belk to price a belt but the kids were starving so I took them for a treat at the food court and hubby was to meet us there.
So here we are sitting at a table eating our cookies and people watching and this old man walks up. He doesn't say anything, he's just standing RIGHT next to BB. I got the creepiest feeling! This man just kept walking back and forth in front of our table just glancing at my children. I grabbed their little hands and pulled them close to me. DQ kept saying "mommy, give me my hand back, I need my hand!", but I was panicked! I literally was breaking into a cold sweat, holding on to my children!
Now, call me crazy but that old man scared me! As soon as we could we hopped up and went to go find hubby. Thankfully he was on his way. I grabbed BB, he grabbed DQ and we were out of there.
What do you think moms? Did I overreact about some old man just waiting for his food? I feel as their mom it is my job to trust the instincts God gave me. I NEEDED to hold my children and keep them as safe as I could. I was SCARED!
Feel free to chime in or even share your stories and you could help a mom not be scared to trust her gut and follow her instincts!
